Special offerings
The Director of Freshman Studies should hold an annual review with Conservatory faculty to explore plans for the following years' performances and determine if any of those offerings might be appropriate for Freshman Studies.
This list was prepared by Lawrence's music faculty and revised in March of 2007. There are five divisional lists, and the syllabus for Freshman Studies must include at least one work from each of them.
